STOVE-DOOR HANDLE.

SPECIFICATION forming part; of Letters Patent No. 312,940, dated February 24-, 1885.

(No model To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that 1, JAMES G. WHITLooK, a citizen of the United States, residing at Richmond, in the county ol'Henrico and State of Virginia, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Stove Door Handies; and I do declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to letters or figures of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.

Figure l is a front view. tional view in detail.

This invention relates to an improvement in handles for stovedoors, or elsewhere where it is desirable to have an insulated handle in coir nection with a heated objectas in laundryirons, &c.; and it consists in the construction and novel arrangement of devices, as will be hereinafter set forth and claimed.

The handle may be of metal or wood, wood being preferable, as the metal would be heated soi'newhat by radiation from the stove. The handle is connected with the Fig. 2 is a secstove by means of the screw-bolt (land nut D. The head of the screw-bolt is countersunk in the handle, leaving a recess to prevent contact oi the hand with the head. The diameter of the shank of the screw is somewhat smaller than the bore in the handle, so that being properly centered it does not come in contact with the wall of the bore of the handle. Under the head of the screw is placed a layer of asbestos, a, and between the inner end of the handle and the door is another layer of asbestos, b, thus insulating the handle from the heated object.

When the handle is made of metal, it should be hollow and perforated circumferentially, as shown in Fig. l oftlie drawings.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

The combination of the insulated handle A, p
